The Baseus Bowie MA10 are good too, and are currently on sale. You would need to EQ the treble up a bit, as they are VERY dark out of the box, as I would also assume for your cheaper models. Their charging base gets you 140 HOURS, with 8 hours on the earbuds! The included "wings" really help keep them in your ears too. You just twist them behind the notch above the ear canal.
Just wanted to say you are a terrific reviewer, Kenneth. Warm and to the point and well informed! I got the Space Travel TWSs and although they are a little glitchy, they are fantastic for their price point. The future of earbuds, wired and wireless will be so amazing!😊 I really appreciate that you cover all the price points here as I am a budget fan but there are lots looking for top tier too. Just an excellent and comprehensive coverage of the best options out there. Thank you!
@@moslouispham Liar I own EarFun Air Pro 3.And wow it sounds great sound quality,design,ANC,transparency mode and dual connectivity for only 50 dollar only
Hey Kenneth! I found your channel when examining the Moondrop Space Travels. So thankful for your information! Keep it up! BTW, I ordered one and it should arrive soon. Can't wait to try it out!
I have the Soundscore 4NC and they are really impressive. I even liked them better than the normal 4's with dual drivers. The only downside is that they tend to fall out of your ears if you wear them for a long time. I can only recommend the EarFun free pro 2 (63 Euro's)which have wingtips. They sit securely, sound incredibly good, are clear and have a rich bass. In terms of price-performance ratio, they are the best inears I know.
I do think the Liberty 4 NC sounds the best out of all soundcores too! Interesting how you have a problem like that, I would suggest the Superfine as well since they generally fit better
@@namedkenn Please could you make a video about brands who have earbuds with very loud system voices or when the literally lock button for example. 1 touch on the left is to change ANC mode OFF or ON and cannot be change . I'm thinking about soundpeats voice and tozo voices. 2 earbuds that I had to return because accidental touch trigger that very loud voice that ruin your 30 mins of relaxation. I'm sure there are thousands of people like me who find these some voice unbearable to the point to send back the products regardless of how good the product is because THE VOICE IS ANOYING and impossible to disable one touch . That would be great if you can do 1 video telling us what company force us this horrible voice by having the touch control lock... The Worst exemple for me is tozo NC7 😳
I'm so glad to hear that! I tried to make it concise this time around, really short and sweet and link the full reviews in the description 😁 most of the earbuds here would be a nice upgrade to your Earfun!
Hello, I’m really confused about which earbud to choose because there are so many manufacturers and models available. I listen to metal music, and I prefer earbuds with good bass, as I don’t like a flat sound. What I prioritize are good sound quality, ergonomic design and battery life, with noise cancellation and other features coming second. I am using an iPhone. I’m considering the following options: ‘Soundpeats Air 4 Pro (€60),’ ‘Soundpeats Life (€24),’ ‘Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro (€60),’ ‘QCY HT05 (€34),’ ‘Soundcore Life P3i (€45),’ ‘Soundcore Life P3 (€60),’ ‘Soundcore P20i (€21),’ ‘Moondrop Space Travel (€30),’ and ‘Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (€80),’ which is slightly above my budget. However, if it significantly outperforms the other models, I’ll consider buying it. Can someone recommend an even better model? I really like your detailed reviews!
Great video! I personally would give an honorable mention to the Soundcore A20i buds. I have those as well as the similarly-priced Soundpeats Free2 Classic, and I prefer the fit and sound of the A20i's. Also Soundcore gives you app control. Thanks again!
im using soundpeats engine 4 now , omg ,the detail . its sooo good . but also worth mentioning that if you decide to use multipoint you cant get LDAC support but other than that its very good.
Would've loved to see more love shown to the wind 🍃 noise reduction category but love your reviews man! Way better delivered than a lot of the other so called top TH-camrs out there.
Thank you so much man! I’ll try to get into those as a future topic, but to be honest since most earbuds can’t handle the wind, it’ll take really the best of the best out there
Im still using your recommended earbuds starting from redmi airdots s, baseus wm01 and soundpeats free2 classic and i want to say thank you for the reviews that you've made ❤
Really loved the airdots s I would happily get a replacement or something similar(the latency for gaming was insane) but it's hard to find the airdots s now.
@@timioyetade1105why dont you consider redmi airdots 2s or redmi buds 3 lite. For casual listening without breaking the bank ill recommend baseus wm01 or wm02.
Two things: 1. For the under-$100 range you can add the soundcore vr p10 for those who wants gaming earbuds and lowest latency possible 2. Can you review the Gravastar sirius p5 someday? Is a half in ear earbuds that are quite curious about the latency and the battery time is interesting as well (8 hours in earbuds and up to 35-40h with case) Thanks.
So glad to have you here! Of course I am fully aware of your product lineup and I would really love to put them to the test 🔥 Let me know how we can connect and I'm 1000% sure everyone will be excited for this collab (absolutely myself included) 😁
Great video thanks, just one thing to keep in mind, i see no reviewer is talking about is durability, i had 3 sets of sennhaiser MTW 3s, first set was making very high pitch noise that actually hurt, second set 1 earbud stopped working completly while the touch still working, im on 3rd set now which seems to be okay but battery life all of sudden after 3 months of use went down from 6-7h playback to barely 4h, i also have Sonys WH1004s and they are good, no issues what so ever with them. I love sennhaiser sound but i think i will stick to other brands propably. I also had MTWs 1st ones and they were good, a lot of problems aswell too, most of them solved by software updates, got them replaced by sennhaiser after almost 2 years just before the warranty was gone.
I haven't had much problem with my earbuds over the years, but that was quite a severe QC problem with the Sennheiser, which is very unfortunate. The problem with durability is no one can say for sure what will happen because we may get a good unit but for that 1 out of a few is a defect, although having said that generally a good pair could really last a long while, and I actually talked about it here th-cam.com/video/IKPJWzgQFqw/w-d-xo.html
I am on my 2nd pair of MTW 3s and they are also down for the crapper. The same issue where the right side of the buds are just not charging anymore. Tried cleaning the buds and even the charger but to no avail. So have to wait till 20th November to get yet another replacement. Sweet lord.Hopefully 3rd time's the charm? But the sound quality on the MTW 3s are just really really good
@@F0bR0ckz Had that issue, turned out to be the rubber parts of earbud that goes into canal being misplaced, pushing it in with earbuds connectors and case clean always solved the issue. It was also happening on my MTW 1s
Love the sound of MTW 3 but durability has been awful compared to even the cheaper CX true wireless. I used both for work at UPS and the CX have been amazing and had no issues even now but the MTW 3 left earbud has lower volume after 1-2h of playtime and ANC can begin to "screech" in my ear and then fritz randomly. MTW 3 sound is amazing but man is it disappointing to see sennheiser struggle with durability.
Great review, love the Sennheiser 1s and 3's, but be aware the Sennheiser 3s will eventually have problems. My left earbud stopped working after 6 months and no real support after Sennheiser was purchased. It's a shame, really love the sound of these.
For edifier w240, i have been using close to 2 years. One thing never mentioned by youtubers is their ability to handle high interference zones. So far ive used plenty of more budget options which often have some sort of audio dropout in high interference areas e.g. at train stations, rf machinery, etc. And also its ability to sense that it has been put in the case is very consistent. Ive used soundcore in the past as well as earfun, they both need some fiddling to get them to seat properly and attach to their charging pins. Sometimes theyre misaligned slightly and my phone continues to play audio through the earpiece. Extremely fucking annoying especially after a long day of travel, i get home, put them in the case and start watching some videos and i need to fiddle with the case again because it still thinks its active. Sometimes they connect on their own when the case is shook, also annoying when im just home playing on loudspeaker and i have to look for the case to realign the earpiece. But for the w240tn it has been overall the best usability. Least amount of fiddling, re-pairing, and glitches.
I just bought the engine4, and I like them very much. I wished you mentioned the difference in sound qualities between price points. It's important to know because I could have bought a much expensive earbuds, but I thought it was not justified because they would not sound better.
I would recommend watching the full review for more sound quality comparisons, although at this point the Engine4 already sounds as good as the Oppo Enco X2 which is twice the price and equipped with planar drivers
The engine 4 sounds, to most, better than nearly anything under 200$ retail. Most of his viewers aren't buying tws earbuds over 200$ unless they are apple fans buying pro2s or xm5s. I would argue the xm5 doesn't sound all that great compared to the engine 4, though it's anc and other features make it an awesome bud. That's how it goes for most of the more expensive buds. You are paying for anc power, build quality, and brand/ecosystem as you go over 100$.
Hi Kenneth, thanks for the great review A lot of reviewers (including you) choose Liberty 4 Nc as best overall under 100$. I can get them for 55. I want just your opinion which one is better (comparing to engine 4) in just sound quality segment, considering i listen to celtic/irish music (a lot of instruments, mix of highs and lows, detailed sound ..)
Here I am tonight, just found out that I placed my WM02 inside the pocket of my shorts earlier this morning and washed it in the washing machine. Sadly the left earpiece is already dead after finding that out. 😭
Im using Soundcore Liberty 4 NC rn. I tried Free2classic, Mini Pro HS, and Engine 4 before. I'd say I prefer the MiniPro HS over the Engine 4, sure the sound quality is better in Engine 4 (not very far gap) but in overall comfort + ANC, Mini Pro HS just win. Too bad it's not on the list
I never got to try the Mini Pro HS (which is very unfortunate), I'm being very careful because the Mini Pro is really far from what you call good sound quality, and by default the Engine4 isn't really all that impressive until you start making custom EQs too Still tho I'm very curious cause it got a lot of good words around it, I reckon it'll be a great pick anyway!
You should also make recommendations for IEMS. maybe for people who don't prefer Wireless earbuds. (just because you gotta charge them overnight and you gotta replace them once the batteries finally degrade)
Got the exact video for you! Although it's not as much recommended in youtube that's probably why you didn't see it th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.html
Hi my friend! I hope you are in great condition I am from Iran It was about 3 years ago that I met you and bought a Haylou GT1 Plus based on your advice and videos. And now I am satisfied! It was exactly what you suggested! The interesting thing is that it is still working well and I didn't think that a bluetooth handsfree at this price could last more than 2 years😁 I'm back here now to buy a better model again :))) Thank you for your useful videos & contents!❤ good luck bro✌
Hey Thanks for the videos, they help me a lot 😊 For some reason, in the specifications of TWS Earbuds, it is almost never mentioned whether there is multipoint and it is quite difficult to find such earbuds Maybe do a review of the best multipoint earbuds?
Yeah to be honest a lot of things are going on in these earbuds nowadays it’s hard to keep track which one has what, having said that you can definitely consider the Engine4 and Liberty4 NC here, they do support it and they’re an excellent performer nonetheless! Also if you prefer half in-ears, my best pick there also supports multipoint th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R4wRkeYs7VXnJuO1 I always highlight multipoint capability in my takes (because they’re so darn useful) but maybe if I have enough recommendations I’ll make a dedicated video for it in the future!
you should do some mic categories, for me it's one of the thing I look up the most for an earbud. Do you have any recommendations for best mic earbuds like under 30$?
Thank you for this video and your work, Kenneth. You must be much more knowledgeable than I am in this area. Can you therefore share your opinion based on what you experienced or have read from the sources you trust? I am very much interested in getting audiophile grade IEMs that also comfortable to wear for long time. So, I was thinking about Shure SE846 PRO Gen 2 (seems very versatile with all the extras you can get for them) or Sennheiser IE 600 or IE 900. Can you suggest anything else along these lines? I would greatly appreciate your advice, and I am sure many people who watch your videos would too.
I like the skullcandy Rail ANC version so far they are the best earbuds ive found so far that even my cheaper buds or more expensive pairs seem underwhelming
Thank you for the great review. For me airpod pro2 for the fuctionality, transparancy and anc. bose qc 2 for the sound and anc. Since i love to use my earbuds while laydown on my bed, size is very important. So jabra elite 7 pro wins for bed time listening because of the small size, decent anc and sound. Why no one review earbuds while laying down? I thing is important. Hahahaha... cheers
The TruEngine 3SE is better than Free2 Classic but it's also more expensive right? Though if you prefer a smaller build the Free2 Classic is always a great pick
I’m looking to get the google pixel buds pro, Sony wf-c700n, skullycandy rail, Bose quiet comfort ultra and maybe a Jvc brand. Some to switch up for the gym and for playing the drums along with listening to the songs
I ordered the Liberty 4 NC during the October Prime deals but returned them. I couldn't get a good fit in my ears and the eartips kept coming off in my ears when I removed them. The connection points are so shallow that it is really difficult to get the eartips back on after removal. Sound quality was good but I prefer the Liberty 3 Pros that I purchased last year. Perhaps a better fit would have made a difference.
Hi, like to know the volume of Soundpeats Engine 4. How loud can it gets? Is it comparable to Fiil T1 Lite? I think T1 Lite is one of the best, am trying to get a new t1 Lite but so sad it had gone out of production. Cheap and good, lasted a good 3 yrs until it goes to sleep forever. Thanks!
@@namedkenn I bought the TWS1 Pro because of your review of it. Since I like the quality of it. I am scared to tried other brands. Thats why I stick to the edifier. I love your videos man. Keep it up~!
Im satisfied wuth the w240tn but the only downside is when it is pressing too hard on the ears i can hear it staticky something. But sounds like a ripped open speaker
nice recommendations. i bought soundpeats air 3 pro coz of you, and now i am going to buy the engine 4. i have question though: why does the EQ always come back to preset everytime i use the air 3 pro? i set up the EQ according to your recommendation but it always comes back to original preset EQ each time i use it

enak banget pembawaan reviewnya koh, kenapa gue baru nemu ni channel skrg ckck. definitely subscribed, keep it up! 🔥
Glad to have you here! Semoga video2 kedepannya memenuhi ekspektasi ya haha
Engine4 has been great for me for under $60
It has satisfied me in every way
Aww. I was waiting for your video for recommendations this 2023. I just bought a Haylou W1 based on your reviews. It sounded so good. Thank you 💙
Hope you enjoy it! Actually if your budget allows let me recommend you the Moondrop Space Travel this holiday season, you'll love it as well 😁
This is a great help! Thanks for the reviews!
So glad I could help!
Great review, love the Sennheiser 1s and 3's, but be aware the Sennheiser 3s will eventually have problems. My left earbud stopped working after 6 months and no real support after Sennheiser was purchased. It's a shame, really love the sound of these.
For edifier w240, i have been using close to 2 years. One thing never mentioned by youtubers is their ability to handle high interference zones. So far ive used plenty of more budget options which often have some sort of audio dropout in high interference areas e.g. at train stations, rf machinery, etc. And also its ability to sense that it has been put in the case is very consistent. Ive used soundcore in the past as well as earfun, they both need some fiddling to get them to seat properly and attach to their charging pins. Sometimes theyre misaligned slightly and my phone continues to play audio through the earpiece. Extremely fucking annoying especially after a long day of travel, i get home, put them in the case and start watching some videos and i need to fiddle with the case again because it still thinks its active. Sometimes they connect on their own when the case is shook, also annoying when im just home playing on loudspeaker and i have to look for the case to realign the earpiece. But for the w240tn it has been overall the best usability. Least amount of fiddling, re-pairing, and glitches.
I just bought the engine4, and I like them very much. I wished you mentioned the difference in sound qualities between price points. It's important to know because I could have bought a much expensive earbuds, but I thought it was not justified because they would not sound better.
I would recommend watching the full review for more sound quality comparisons, although at this point the Engine4 already sounds as good as the Oppo Enco X2 which is twice the price and equipped with planar drivers
The EQ mode,,,is it saved into tws program?
So it doesn't need re-eq even tho you conect it to another smartphone
The engine 4 sounds, to most, better than nearly anything under 200$ retail. Most of his viewers aren't buying tws earbuds over 200$ unless they are apple fans buying pro2s or xm5s. I would argue the xm5 doesn't sound all that great compared to the engine 4, though it's anc and other features make it an awesome bud. That's how it goes for most of the more expensive buds. You are paying for anc power, build quality, and brand/ecosystem as you go over 100$.
Hi Kenneth, thanks for the great review
A lot of reviewers (including you) choose Liberty 4 Nc as best overall under 100$. I can get them for 55. I want just your opinion which one is better (comparing to engine 4) in just sound quality segment, considering i listen to celtic/irish music (a lot of instruments, mix of highs and lows, detailed sound ..)
Here I am tonight, just found out that I placed my WM02 inside the pocket of my shorts earlier this morning and washed it in the washing machine. Sadly the left earpiece is already dead after finding that out. 😭
Im using Soundcore Liberty 4 NC rn. I tried Free2classic, Mini Pro HS, and Engine 4 before. I'd say I prefer the MiniPro HS over the Engine 4, sure the sound quality is better in Engine 4 (not very far gap) but in overall comfort + ANC, Mini Pro HS just win. Too bad it's not on the list
I never got to try the Mini Pro HS (which is very unfortunate), I'm being very careful because the Mini Pro is really far from what you call good sound quality, and by default the Engine4 isn't really all that impressive until you start making custom EQs too
Still tho I'm very curious cause it got a lot of good words around it, I reckon it'll be a great pick anyway!
dont forget, next month, Sennheiser Momentum 4 True Wireless. Looking forward it, also dont forget to compare it with Sennheiser MTW 3 😊
Thanks man, this makes picking way easier
No problem!
Do you have any recommendations for blue collar workers in construction that blocks as much sound as possible doesn’t have to be ANC?
What you recommend moondrop space travel or soundpeats engine 4? In general. Thanks
JUST IN TIME! THANKS!
Enjoy! 😉
You should also make recommendations for IEMS.
maybe for people who don't prefer Wireless earbuds.
(just because you gotta charge them overnight and you gotta replace them once the batteries finally degrade)
Pls do make a review of the best budget earbuds for calling
For sure in the coming weeks!
It's a great review, very complete! Have you ever done a review of the best tws earbuds without rubber, they really bother me. Thanks
Got the exact video for you! Although it's not as much recommended in youtube that's probably why you didn't see it th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.html
Hi my friend!
I hope you are in great condition
I am from Iran
It was about 3 years ago that I met you and bought a Haylou GT1 Plus based on your advice and videos. And now I am satisfied! It was exactly what you suggested!
The interesting thing is that it is still working well and I didn't think that a bluetooth handsfree at this price could last more than 2 years😁
I'm back here now to buy a better model again :)))
Thank you for your useful videos & contents!❤
good luck bro✌
Soundcore r50i sounds surprisingly good for a really cheap price.
Hey
Thanks for the videos, they help me a lot 😊
For some reason, in the specifications of TWS Earbuds, it is almost never mentioned whether there is multipoint and it is quite difficult to find such earbuds
Maybe do a review of the best multipoint earbuds?
Yeah to be honest a lot of things are going on in these earbuds nowadays it’s hard to keep track which one has what, having said that you can definitely consider the Engine4 and Liberty4 NC here, they do support it and they’re an excellent performer nonetheless!
Also if you prefer half in-ears, my best pick there also supports multipoint th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R4wRkeYs7VXnJuO1
I always highlight multipoint capability in my takes (because they’re so darn useful) but maybe if I have enough recommendations I’ll make a dedicated video for it in the future!
Should i go for free2 classic or space travel? Soundpeats cost 12 usd in my country and Space Travel costs 25 bucks.
can't wait for half in ear video too ♥
soundcore looks good, engine 4 as well, i mainly just want them for work, opera doesnt seems for sale on amazon
you should do some mic categories, for me it's one of the thing I look up the most for an earbud. Do you have any recommendations for best mic earbuds like under 30$?
The Moondrop Space Travel was a steal for its price, tho kinda sad they released the black version after I got mine a week after lol
I know right! The black one looks really cool too haha
@@namedkenn the black looks much cleaner and more slick.
Another ick was the leather case, it costs 10 USD 😭 it's half the price of the actual TWS
For that price, you can buy both.
@@iLKA_2404 hey man. Can you drop a link for black version? Thanks
Thank you for this video and your work, Kenneth. You must be much more knowledgeable than I am in this area. Can you therefore share your opinion based on what you experienced or have read from the sources you trust? I am very much interested in getting audiophile grade IEMs that also comfortable to wear for long time. So, I was thinking about Shure SE846 PRO Gen 2 (seems very versatile with all the extras you can get for them) or Sennheiser IE 600 or IE 900. Can you suggest anything else along these lines? I would greatly appreciate your advice, and I am sure many people who watch your videos would too.
I like the skullcandy Rail ANC version so far they are the best earbuds ive found so far that even my cheaper buds or more expensive pairs seem underwhelming
please make a video for Gaming TWS with latency and Spacial sound quality test for Mobile, Switch, Steamdeck etc.
Can u do review on the new Baseus Bowie MA10?
Hello Mr. Ken, hopefully this comment found you well. If i may ask, do the sound quality of Moodrop Space Travel can be compare with the Liberty 4NC?
youre so close to 100 k !
Thank you for the great review.
For me airpod pro2 for the fuctionality, transparancy and anc. bose qc 2 for the sound and anc. Since i love to use my earbuds while laydown on my bed, size is very important. So jabra elite 7 pro wins for bed time listening because of the small size, decent anc and sound.
Why no one review earbuds while laying down? I thing is important. Hahahaha... cheers
For under $100 I honestly cant think of anything better than the old boys Soundcore Liberty 3 pro
The Liberty 4 NC is actually better, but if I can be honest with you yes the Liberty 3 Pro was a legend, still love it til this day haha
Great video, really helpful! Gonna subscribe :D
Can I ask what's the best TWS Earbuds for running? I'm on a tight budget so my budget would be around 1-2k at maxed. Thanks in advance sir Kenneth!
Got Soundcore liberty 4NC in 50 dollars from Amazon lndia....Samsung galaxy buds2 pro in 60 dollars...in Great lndian Sale...love from lndia.
Holy moly! That's a great deal hope you enjoy it!
The soundcore space a40 is ok. It's battery life isn't as good as others. I use my in normal mode and they only last 6 hours
Problems with liberty 4, Proprietary tips, no tip rolling, no spinfit options. A no go!
can you do a video about using 3rd party equalizer app to improve tws sound quality esp on the cheaper end?
Please do best wireless headphones for every budget toooo (2024)
What do you think of the CMF Buds Pro? And comparing with the Soundpeats Engine 4, which one is better?
Free2 classic or engine3se? And why? Thanks for answering
The TruEngine 3SE is better than Free2 Classic but it's also more expensive right? Though if you prefer a smaller build the Free2 Classic is always a great pick
@@namedkenn thank you i will buy free2 classic . And may be upgrade to engine4 next year 😘.
I'd get the moondrops just for the case gahdamn
Hahaha no worries man they good 🔥
I quit the silicone tips. No more pressure and pain. Openfit is my favourite buds. .peace
Haha that's great, I'm slowly checking out these truly open ear buds as well 😁
What about the JLab Air Pop or Tozo T1? Every list seems to give different recommendations.
I hope you can review the soundpeats mini pro hs too 😊
I’m looking to get the google pixel buds pro, Sony wf-c700n, skullycandy rail, Bose quiet comfort ultra and maybe a Jvc brand. Some to switch up for the gym and for playing the drums along with listening to the songs
Bang ken, jangan lupa bikin lagi ya untuk mid 2024. Algoritma jenis video kayak gini bagus soalnya dan bantu viewer juga hahaha
Hahaha mau dong cuma untuk sekarang dikumpulin dulu ya earbuds bagus2 nya
you forget the call quality which these days is so much important as I see to many customers, me included
Please try Oneplus Buds Pro 2 (Note: don't update the frimware because it make sound bad !)
Nice review Kenneth Tanaka. Have you reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE??
Hello man thanks for watching! Haven't tried it yet but very insterested for sure
i just ordered MOONDROP SPACE TRAVEL and SOUNDPEATS FREE2 CLASSIC for a TOTAL of $32, i got SOLD with your review and recommendations..😅🤔🤑🤦🤷
That’s a great deal man! Hope you’ll enjoy them 😆
I ordered the Liberty 4 NC during the October Prime deals but returned them. I couldn't get a good fit in my ears and the eartips kept coming off in my ears when I removed them. The connection points are so shallow that it is really difficult to get the eartips back on after removal. Sound quality was good but I prefer the Liberty 3 Pros that I purchased last year. Perhaps a better fit would have made a difference.
Should i go for moondrop ST or engine 4? I already have free 2 classic. I also like to hear bunch of lofi and classical music
Wondering the comaprison of opera 5 and liberty 4 nc
Hi, like to know the volume of Soundpeats Engine 4. How loud can it gets? Is it comparable to Fiil T1 Lite? I think T1 Lite is one of the best, am trying to get a new t1 Lite but so sad it had gone out of production. Cheap and good, lasted a good 3 yrs until it goes to sleep forever. Thanks!
Soundcore liberty 4 nc vs fill cc pro 2 , which do you recommend? I can get both for same price..
This review is perfect timing. My girlfriend lost my Edifier TWS1 Pro. Welp time to buy Edifier W240TN this time
Happy to hear that! (Okay not the lost part but the perfect timing haha) I’m sure you’ll enjoy the W240TN!
@@namedkenn I bought the TWS1 Pro because of your review of it. Since I like the quality of it. I am scared to tried other brands. Thats why I stick to the edifier.
I love your videos man. Keep it up~!
Home got invaded. I need to buy earbuds again
Im satisfied wuth the w240tn but the only downside is when it is pressing too hard on the ears i can hear it staticky something. But sounds like a ripped open speaker
What should I get soundpeats air 4 or the Edifier NB2 Pro ?
Between the liberty 4 nc and the redmi bud 5 pro which is better considering mic quality, ANC and battery life on buds
Soundpeats mini hs please and make a comparison with og mini, free2 classic, engine4 etc. tia...
Hello Sir. Tanaka, may i ask about budget friendly and good in zoom meetings in this year 2024. Anc? or not? thanks. very appreciate your effort.
Which earbuds has the best mic ?
nice recommendations. i bought soundpeats air 3 pro coz of you, and now i am going to buy the engine 4. i have question though: why does the EQ always come back to preset everytime i use the air 3 pro? i set up the EQ according to your recommendation but it always comes back to original preset EQ each time i use it
Had my Haylou W1 for some time and love them, but getting pretty worn out, how is Space Travel compared to W1?
How about the JLab GO Air Pop they seem pretty decent for the money
Compare Moondrop Space Travel vs $20 IEMs pls. Also please have a look at Edifier x3 lite
I’ll see what I can do! 🙌🏻
Soundpeats H1 is still good but i think soundpeats opera 5 is also so good interm of sound quality..
Yes Soundpeats Opera 05 is actually a good option! And think of the Engine4 as like the alternative without ANC so you get how good it sounds!
Which one of these earbuds under 60 or the ones in the 15 dollar price range is better then the soundcore life dot 3i?
Hai, I need some advice which I should go for. Space travel or soundpeat free2? Thanks in advance.
I got the Galaxy Buds2 Pro for $60 for this price it's best value ever
Jabra elite 10 is much much better than senheiser m3 and sony xm5. In comfort and sound quality. Anc is also top notch. And good enough. Must buy.
Hi ken. Have you tried soundcore dot 3i? Compared to those under $60 alternatives. Which one you recommend the most?
Hello Kenneth, will you be reviewing the Soundpeats Air 4 pro?
Haven't got any units to review unfortunately, I'll see what I can do!
Sabbat M200 is awesome too for $30
What do you think about Huawei earphones? Thanks
